Croissants are perfect for a bread and butter pudding. Use fresh or frozen blueberries, strawberries or raspberries. This recipe is from ‘It Takes a Village’ – A Guide to Matakana and its surrounding districts by Lauraine Jacobs. Photography by Ken Downie.

Kathy Paterson, who developed this recipe says Lemon Delicious is true to its name – ‘a pudding with a soft, pillowy texture and a layer of thick lemon curd at its base’. She loves serving it Appleby Passionfruit Ice Cream.
